(I don't think any of the Strife tunes have any titles, so I'll name them by where you first hear them) 1:Sanctuary theme (it's fast-paced, because it's not YOUR sanctuary <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />) 2:Castle theme 3:Programmer's Keep theme 4:Fortress Bailey theme Of course, those are just my top 4 favorites from Strife, and I've yet to hear ALL of the songs. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

Please, please, please read the original post. I wanted specific music for games. I think RO holds second place in best music in a game, ever. First goes to DKC2.

To name a top four would be against my principles, not to mention be really hard to do.

Yeah, I love the Rainbow Road theme from MK64 (haven't gotten far enough in MK:DD yet <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /> ), many FF themes (those 7/4-time Espers, woo), and almost any theme from DKC2. I think it's a major reason I've played DKC2 as much as I have. The themes for Funky, the menu screen, sunken ships, ice caves, bramble, forests, roller coasters, castles, King Zing, even the Rare and Nintendo logos...Too bad the sequels didn't come very close. But where exactly do we hear the "Stickerbrush Symphony"? I also love all the music from a niche PC adventure called Rama, based on Arthur C. Clarke's books. Perhaps the best of that is the title screen music, which is also played in certain areas after a time bomb has been activated. There's also the haunting tune with at least three adaptations, two of which are played at the start of the game. Super Smash Bros. Melee is downright eclectic, including in music. Now I'd like to buy Earthbound and Fire Emblem. (I know the latter is available in English for GBA, but I don't do handhelds, and I have yet to get a proper emulator.) Then there's Ocarina of Time, which has "Saria's Song" and some awesome boss battle themes, among others. Right now I'm loving one of the flight themes in Skies of Arcadia, specifically for the Little Jack after it gets the harpoon cannon.

Stickerbrush Symphony is more commonly known as the Brambles song. Rainbow Road in MKDD is just as good as the one from 64. It's almost like a remix.

To me, Flimbo's Quest might have the best music in any video game ever, and it was for an extremely limited system as far as music goes (as in - all sound from the system it was for, the c64, came from an onboard synthesiser. As such you had some really good music for some games, and some really painful pieces for others). As for specific songs - Starlight Zone in Sonic 1, Ice Cap Zone in Sonic 3 are both high up on the list <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Okay, Okay, I'll give you four of my (current) favorites. My favorites usually depend on my mood and stuff, you know how it is. right now they are (not in order): See if you can guess where they're from. Btw, except for the second one, they have a common theme. 1. Ultra Violet 2. Hikari no Willpower 3. Maverick Hunter Zero (this one's your freebie, occurs in both 5&6) 4. North Wind

I return from beyond the grave. <a href='http://www.paletteswap.com/sonic2/' target='_blank'>http://www.paletteswap.com/sonic2/</a> Any fan of Sonic music will love this collection of Sonic 2 Remixes for the entire soundtrack. Aquatic Ruin Mystic Cave Metropolis Wing Fortress and Hidden Palace are all incredible works of art.
